Get Your Free Colon Cancer Screening Kit this March
Colon and rectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for men and women despite being one of the most preventable forms of cancer, when caught early. Regular screening should start at age 45 or sooner with family history of cancer or other risk factors. Approximately 70 percent of people with colorectal cancer have no family history.
During Colon Cancer Awareness month (March), people who are age 45 or older can receive a free immunochemical fecal occult blood test (iFOBT) Take-Home Colon Screening kit from:
